A Belfast bar worker has paid the ultimate price for placing a bet with his work colleague.

Kevin Henry, works as a floor supervisor in Limelight, Belfast and after what he's described as a "silly bet", he's been left with a rather permanent reminder of that decision.

The 21-year-old told Belfast Live, he and his colleague Louis Barnes are fond of making random bets to each other to pass the time while at work.

But this week, Kevin was on the losing end (not for the first time he admits) and he was forced to get a tattoo.

He told Belfast Live: "Me and one of the other floor supervisors Louis are always making silly bets in work just for the craic, and we were talking about how if we lost the next bet the loser should have to get the other person's name tatooed on their body.

"Then we took it one step further and agreed the loser would have to get the Limelight name tattooed instead."

So what big bet did Kevin lose? Was it on a football or rugby game? Poker?

"It was the toss of a coin actually," laughed Kevin.

"I picked heads and it came up tails, and then we decided to do best of three, and tails came up again, so that was it."

Less than 12 hours later the Dungiven man had his chest inked in the familiar Limelight logo, a permanent tribute to the bar he's worked at for 15 months.

It isn't the first time Kevin has lost a bet either.

"One time I had to go to Kremlin in full drag because I lost a bet. I don't actually win that often so maybe I should stop," he laughed.
